When
it comes to preparing for a trip, do you get frustrated at the idea of packing?
From choosing what to pack, to making it all in fit in your luggage, to
thinking of all the what if’s you should bring, packing can become its own
little nightmare before you even get out the door on your next vacation. We are
here to help. Cindy has compiled a list of suggestions that can help you become
a packing pro, and check off one more item on your vacation preparation
checklist.
Get yourself organized-
·
Organization
Pouches- these can be used to pack clothing flat and neatly roll up to save
space.
·
Packing Cubes-
with multiple compartments these help keep your toiletries and small items
organized and easy to find.
Wardrobe Necessities-
·
Weather
appropriate- Check the weather of your destination and pack a raincoat, gloves
or hat if there is rough weather forecasted
·
Night vs. Day-
bring a sweater or coat for cooler nighttime temperatures
·
Foot care- Be
sure to wear comfortable shoes, and bring an extra pair to switch out from time
to time- if you do a lot of walking on your vacation, your feet will thank you.
Power On-
·
Outlet
converters- multiple plug-ins for your electric accessories will help ensure
you have enough access to power where ever you stay
·
Electrical
adapters & conversion plugs- for travel abroad these are needed to use in
other countries with different outlet designs.
·
Extra Chargers-
for your portable devices, and the ability to charge more than one at a time.
·
Extra Batteries-
for anything that takes batteries save time and money by bringing your own
extra supply
In a Fix
Essentials-
·
Duct tape- a
quick fix for just about anything that may break
·
Utility Swiss
Army knife- from scissors, to clippers and small blades these come in handy
regularly.
·
Sewing kit-
loose a button on your dinner jacket? No
problem, you will be prepared.
Medications are
a must-
·
Over the counter
Medicines- save time and money and bring the basics like your own pain reliever
or indigestion tablets, be sure to keep them in their original bottles
·
Prescriptions-
avoid running out and the hassle of getting an order refilled, bring an extra
supply and a note from your doctor to help expedite your way through security
at airports.
Some Simple
Basics-
·
Resealable
plastic bags- Most helpful with wet bathing suits or toiletry bottles
·
Contact
Information- In case you need to reach someone at home, bring a list of three
friends or family members, and as always, the name and number of your Travel
Professional.

A book- If you
read from a tablet, bring a backup book in case you run into problems with
recharging or accessing power.
